Nowadays.............A baker's dozen and filled with the Blues

Six or seven... I tend to carry three in my pocket each day, but when grading season comes along I tend to want one per question. Of course, as per modern sensitivities, none of them is red.

Not entirely sure I'd recommend them, unless you find a really good deal. They do tend to dry out pretty readily, and at least half needed some attention to their nibs. But they're good fun.
Meanwhile things have gone a bit awry here in Weevil Burrows, and there seem to be nineteen pens inked. I swear the inklings must be adding new ones during the night...

Wrote a couple dry today, so ... nine.
Eight, six of them piston fillers!
All with different inks.
Lowest price I've seen so far for the Dollar demonstrators is 90p each. Not quite sure if that's a good enough deal that I'd want to spend time tweaking and fixing, although it might be good practice for me (having only just dared to start gently tweaking the nibs on my Lamys).
If get your inklings under control, perhaps you could share your methods
90p each is not bad - I was hoping to be able to direct you to the deal I found, but the seller put the price up. They're maybe not the easiest nibs to learn adjustment on though. Incidentally, if you haven't come across it already, I found the single most enlightening resource on nib adjustment is Richard Binder's workshop notes PDF. Well worth a read.
As for the inklings, they were rounded up and warned that Iroshizuku drinking privileges will be revoked if necessary. So I'm back down to fourteen (and seriously considering not including the Dollars in the count in future).

My other pen is a Montblanc.
And my other blog is a tumblr!

Mostly two, one filled with a black and the other with a blue ink. That is pretty much all I need for work.
Mostly about 3; but at the moment.... about 18
probably 30+
